RE: Re: What to look for in a technical editor

["GeneK" <gene -at- genek -dot- com>]

Same here, but the issue with an editor who is not 
technically adept is the amount of time you may have
to spend reading and rejecting changes that a "more 
technical" editor might never have proposed in the 
first place.  In my one really bad experience with 
an editor (the corporate editor I've mentioned previously
who kept demanding an endless series of pedantic style 
changes) the fellow in question was most definitely not 
technical, and had he been capable of doing more 
technical reviews I might have been able to load him 
down with enough of them that he wouldn't have had as 
much time to make my writers' lives miserable.
